Summary
A bill to designate a choral anthem was reported favorably without debate; the clerk announced a 17-0 vote.
Pierce summarized House Bill 3949, which would name the song (translated in the summary as "While I Breathe, I Hope") the official choral anthem of the state. He noted the state already has two official state songs and described this measure as creating a separate designation for a choral anthem.
The committee took the measure up with minimal discussion. The clerk called the roll and announced the vote: "By a vote of 17 to 0, the bill is reported favorably."
